آية: 86

أَئِفۡكًا ءَالِهَةٗ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ

86. Is it false gods that you want instead of Allāh?

آية: 87

فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

فَنَظَرَ نَظۡرَةٗ فِي ٱلنُّجُومِ

88. Then he looked at the stars, looking up once,

آية: 89

فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٞ

89. And said: "I am sick9."

9. It was narrated that Abraham (peace be upon him) did not tell a lie except on three occasions, twice for the sake of Allāh (Exalted and Almighty) when he said: “I am sick,” (when his people were holding a festival in honor of their idols, Abraham excused himself by saying he was sick, and when he said: “(I have not done this but) the big idol has done it.” The (third was) that while Ibraham and Sara (his wife) were going (on a journey), they passed by (the territory of) a tyrant. Someone said to the tyrant: “This man (i.e., Abraham) is accompanied by a very charming lady.” So, he sent for Abraham and asked him about Sara saying: “Who is this lady?” Abraham said: “She is my sister.”
This is not from real lying statements, but from ambiguous statements. The word “he did not lie” has been used metaphorically.
Some say, “saqim” means afflicted with plague. The people of that time were afraid of the plague, so he used this word for them to turn away from him. Some say, it means, a spiritually ill person, from your worshipping the idols other than Allāh.

آية: 90

فَتَوَلَّوۡاْ عَنۡهُ مُدۡبِرِينَ

90. So they turned away from him, departing immediately.

آية: 91

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمۡ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ

91. He then turned to their idols and said 'mockingly': "Will you not eat 'of the offerings before you'?

آية: 92

مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنطِقُونَ

92. What is the matter with you that you do not speak?"

آية: 93

فَرَاغَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ضَرۡبَۢا بِٱلۡيَمِينِ

آية: 95

قَالَ أَتَعۡبُدُونَ مَا تَنۡحِتُونَ

95. (Abraham) said: "Do you worship what you carve out?

102. When 'the boy' reached (the age) of working with him, Abraham said: "O my son, I have seen in a dream that I should sacrifice you; look then, what do you think." (Ishmael) said: "O my father, do what you are commanded; if Allāh wills, you will find me patient."
